Public comment on a DOE proposal for alternative financing of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor (CRBR) Project by the private sector brought testimony from 17 hearing participants, who including legislators and government officials, economists and investment firms, and political and other groups. At issue were the uncertainties, economic and technological, associated with the project. Questions of ownership reflected the public's investment of $1.5 billion, which would be surrendered to private ownership. Others challenged the scientific need for CRBR, its cost overruns, and whether tax incentives would be part of the plan. National security and US competitiveness were also at issue.
